RTS/CTS 
Threshold

 

Select this option to enable the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) threshold to 
minimize collisions. Enter a value between 0 and 2432. The default is 2432.  

Request To Send is the threshold (number of bytes) for enabling the RTS/CTS handshake. Data 
with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this 
attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit) size turns off the 
RTS/CTS handshake.  

Fragmentation 
Threshold 

 

Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.  

WEP 
Encryption

 

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting them over the 
wireless network.  

Select Disable allows all wireless computers to communicate with the access points without any 
data encryption.  

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP and then configure the keys in the fields provided to activate 
data encryption. 

Key 1 to Key 4 

 

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the wireless clients must use the 
same WEP key for data transmission. 

If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal 
characters ("0-9", "A-F"). 
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters 
("0-9", "A-F").  

Select only one key to be activated at any one time.  

For added security, set your Prestige to check the MAC address of the wireless client device against 
a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.  

To set up the MAC address list for wireless LAN, click Advanced Setup in the navigation panel, 
Wireless and then click the MAC Filter link.
